Pérola returns to Angola and her return will awaken feelings and desires that she didn't know she had. It will make her hear, for the first time, the voice of her heart.
Pérola is a thirty-nine-year-old lawyer. She returns to Angola, to her younger sister 's Alambamento, after more than two days outside her home country.
When P é rola returns, she realizes that she doesn't fit in that space, that the world that saw her birth is now uncomfortable for her . At first , she does not try to integrate herself, on the contrary, she keeps away with a judgmental look at the attitudes and actions of her relatives.
However, as the party progresses, Pérola becomes aware of the beauty of that place. That land and those people reveal a charm that this one did not expect.
In the end, the protagonist realizes that the emptiness and loneliness she felt for years was nothing more than her land calling her back.
